  Passing a resolution a painful experience

  by stillin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  everybody knows it's going to pass.

  nobody ever asks if possibly that much money for the circuit overseer's whatever isn't a bit too much, or whatever else the congregation is being asked to agree to.

  then the call to raise your hand if in favor of doing the "right thing.

  Due to Oct 5th WT Biz Meet all meetings for that week are cancelled

  by illoowy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was informed that due to oct 5th wt biz meet all meetings for that week are cancelled,.

  i asked if the mid week meeting was also and was told yes, because of the assembly.. it seems there's an overload of theocratic alternative banqueting feasts available so.

  that the regular menu at the kh is not necessary for that week.

  WATCHTOWER IN A PANIC!

  by JW GoneBad in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jws are in need of more kingdom halls in many major u.s. cities.

  at this years agm where it is expected that most of the faithful will be able to listen to the meeting (being tied in by video), dont be surprised if the wts 8 gb members take part in a symposium delivering some long winded appeal, petition, plea, proposal, proposition, solicitation or otherwise hit-on the masses for $$$ in order to lighten the burden and overuse that many kingdom halls are experiencing.

  an acquaintance from the west coast mentioned to me that in late august thru early september of this year that a number of pow-wows involving close to 5,000 elders from numerous areas (riverside, los angeles, ventura and orange counties) took place to drum up financial support from the 800+ (not sure) congregations in those areas.

  What's in it for them? (GB)

  by SyntaxError1974 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if the wbts is just another business?

  then what do the gb get out of all this?.

  tim cook (ceo apple) makes around 378 million a year.. donald trump makes around 60 million a year.. i understand the wbts may have vast property holdings, stocks, bonds, and revenue from donations.. but i can't grasp the incentive for the gb to make this stuff up.
